Happy to get my IVA pass today at Leighton buzzard, great test centre.
Enjoyed the 30 miles home, the drive there was nerve racking, I thought will it break down, overheat, wobble. On the way back gave it the beans. Goes ok for a CVH, need to swap my jets for 1.6mm from the 1.4mm standard one, that should see a few more horses out of here until zetec over the winter.

Congratulations! Car looks stunning.

Well done Mike! Great Job!
And good timing with spring/summer too :)

thanks all, it was a long hard slog to this far. Still loads to do:

setup
windscreen
zetec conversion
willwood brakes
bigger fuel tank
better trimming on the tunnel

etc etc etc :) Think I'll get a screen on and it setup and enjoy it for this year!

Just spent time reading through your entire build. Very nice! I'm loving those rear lights - where did you get those? I also have the OBP pedal box, but I'm using a Miata (MX5) donor. Still sorting out what I'm going to do with the throttle.

I say get a helmet, set up the car, and drive it all summer long!

Yeh I think I replied on locostbuilders. There's probably a better way to get the throttle sorted, a nice bell crank would make it all a lot more adjustable and no welding the peddle box. Don't think OBP are that helpful with that pedal box and the throttle it could do with a return spring and some adjustment as standard for a few extra £.

Think the lights are from boltonbits on ebay, not forgetting the fog light isn't a fog light and will fail IVA as id doesn't have a F mark on it.

I got a helmet to drive it to IVA, so it will be on the road as soon as the paperwork comes through

Very well done, I bet the relife is huge and you probably have a bunch of new friends looking for a lift ;)

I've done 250 miles now.
dropping the tyres pressures and dialing back the shocks has made it driveable on the bumpy b roads I'm surrounded by.

It could do with a bit more shove, I have one jet size to go up but then i think its Zetec time. I'm not sure if I can wait until winter!
